1. 1

   Unplug the Refrigerator and perform a thorough manual defrost of the entire unit to melt all existing ice.

2. 2

   Locate the defrost drain line, typically at the back of the freezer or behind the interior back panel, and clear any obstructions.

3. 3

   Pour a small amount of warm water down the drain line to ensure it is fully clear and draining freely.

4. 4

   Inspect the door seals around the deli drawer area for any gaps or damage that might be allowing warm, moist air to enter.
